For Thursday’s game, Young will likely be available, as he is no longer on the injury report.
Greg Finberg of Bullets Forever wrote: “Trae Young and Jamir Watkins are off the Wizards’ injury report and will be available for tomorrow’s game vs. Orlando.
Bub Carrington, who hasn’t missed a game in his NBA career, is questionable with hip flexor soreness.
Davis, George, Whitmore and Russell remain out.”
